A forward genetic approach in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a strategy for exploring starch catabolism.

A screen was recently developed to study the mobilization of starch in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. This screen relies on starch synthesis accumulation during nitrogen starvation followed by the supply of nitrogen and the switch to darkness. Hence multiple regulatory network...
